Yep but the regional approach will drive them up the wall. They’ve already tried and failed. They got laughed out of New Zealand. Their sport is shite.

The economic argument for Perth is that NRL must get into the 6th (?) biggest market in the country even though there is limited local support.
This was the rationale for AFL getting into Western Sydney, the Gold Coast and considering Canberra - IT HASN’T WORKED, except for perhaps boosting the TV deal.
Teams with grassroots support are of far greater value, especially if someone else picks up the bill

Haha he’s actually proved my point! Govt changed, policy changed, deal was scrapped. Govt paid about 5% of contract value in compensation. What happens if that happens in the case of the nrl club?

simplistic.
Big markets generate big money. Afl clearly proves this with a now $300mill revenue gap,
grassroots is great but doesn’t pay the bills.
Nrl still hasn’t restored grass roots funding to 2019 levels due to its revenue not increasing enough.

He’s wrong. I negotiate commonwealth grant agreements and once signed they bind the commonwealth to honour its commitments unless the grantee requests the agreement cease or behaves in such a way the agreement is broken. Payments continue throughout the life of the agreement. But don’t bother telling him. He’s an idiot with a massive ego and no nrl team.

It’d need to be a lot more than that. Would need to cover cost of the club grant (tv isn’t paying anything for it) plus the revenue the club needs that it wont be able to generate, plus a bit on the side for the nrl. $30mill a year at least.

The French got $5B for literally nothing.
If Albo signs and Dutton abrogates just compensation must be paid.

The Western Sydney Market must be close to the size of Perth but the Giants will be a financial drain on the AFL into the indefinite future and have about the same level of support as a WA NRL team

The New Zealand market is larger than Perth and even has people who know the difference between League and Union.

The size of the market is not the major determinate, its the level of interest

Mate, I appreciate your passion but, after the hundreds of thousands of comments on this board over nearly 20 years, I think V’Landys has indicated its all over.

I suspect including Wellington would add more

On its own no, as part of a bigger strategy to claw back that gap over ten years, yep.

everyone’s entitled to an opinion
